How to Generate a Public/Private KeyPair for Use With Solaris Secure Shell
Users must generate a public/private key pair when their site implementshost-based authentication or user public-key authentication. For additionaloptions, see the ssh-keygen(1) manpage.
Before You Begin
Determine from your system administrator if host-based authenticationis configured.
- Start the key generation program.where -t is the type of algorithm, one of rsa, dsa, or rsa1.
- Specify the path to the file that will hold the key.Bydefault, the file name id_rsa, which represents an RSAv2 key, appears in parentheses. You can select this file by pressing the Return key. Or, you can type an alternative file name.The file name of the public key is created automatically by appendingthe string .pub to the name of the private key file.
- https://sitepatient406.weebly.com/blog/serial-key-generator-norton-security. Type a passphrase for using your key.This passphraseis used for encrypting your private key. A null entry is stronglydiscouraged. Note that the passphrase is not displayed when youtype it in.
- Retype the passphrase to confirm it.
- Check the results.https://sitepatient406.weebly.com/generate-keys-for-queue-security-test.html. Check that the path to the keyfile is correct.At this point, you have created a public/private key pair.
- Choose the appropriate option:
- If your administrator has configuredhost-based authentication, you might need to copy the local host's publickey to the remote host.You can now log in to the remote host.For details, see How to Log In to a Remote Host With Solaris Secure Shell.
- Type the command on one line with no backslash.
- When you are prompted, supply your login password.
- If your site uses user authentication with public keys, populateyour authorized_keys file on the remote host.
- Copy your public key to the remote host.Type thecommand on one line with no backslash.
- When you are prompted, supply your login password.Whenthe file is copied, the message “Key copied” is displayed.
- (Optional) Reduce the prompting for passphrases.For a procedure, see How to Reduce Password Prompts in Solaris Secure Shell. For more information, see the ssh-agent(1) and ssh-add(1) man pages.
- Besides allowing the permitted hosts to SSH to the ASA, you need to define RSA keys for the secure connection. In the CLI: crypto key generate rsa. For these key to work, you should have a hostname/domain-name configured on the ASA as well (unless you configure a dedicated RSA keys).

If you migrate the server's private key, you will need to regenerate and migrate the key to all the client systems. Each client should have it's own key. Putty uses puttygen to generate the key. Puttygen will also provide the public key in the correct format for pasting into the client system. It is best to protect the key with a passphrase if. The receipt is almost the same as for generating your own keys, except that you should use an empty passphrase. Default key lengths are also appropriate (2048 bits for rsa and 1024 bits for dsa) SSH1 protocol For SSH1 protocol, you need a rsa1 key generated has follow: ssh-keygen -q -f /etc/ssh/sshhostkey -N.
Example 19–2 Establishing a v1 RSA Key for a User
In the following example, the user cancontact hosts that run v1 of the Solaris Secure Shell protocol. To be authenticated by v1hosts, the user creates a v1 key, then copies the public key portion to theremote host.
